PAGE FOUR THE P I L O T DECEMBER, 1959 Beaming with smiles of confidence are Gardner-Webb’s three re turning basketball lettermen. Left to right, they are Jimmy Summey, Garland Hami-ick, and Ned Duncan. BULLDOGS SPRINT FOR LEAD IN CONFERENCE Ooach Blackburn reports with a twinkle in his eye that he is “real aptlmistic” about the prospects for his varsity basketball squad this year. With only three returning lettermen for a framework, the coach has Avhipped up a team that should rate high in the Western Carolina Junior College Basketball Conference this season. Although the Bulldogs have suffered two losses in the three non-conference games already played, the future still looks bright. “These are the toughest teams we expect to face,” replied the coach when the previous games were mentioned. “We expect to do quite well in the conference.” And do quite well he should with Wall, two trump cards the coach can play just any time. Hamrick is a letterman from last year, and Wall has joined the team after a recent discharge from military ser- feet-4 inches mark on the yard- To back up these centers at the guard positions are Ned Duncan and Jimmy Summey. Both are return ing lettermen, and the coach ex pects them to be quite effective on defense and in scoring as they were last year. Other guards are Doug Tolley and Paul Brooks, latecom ers to the team from the football squad. Already these two have added much to the strength of the team. Also vying for the guard posi tions are Johnny White and Randy Elrod, two players who give depth to the guard position. forwards Jerry Beane and Lloyd Wall, who have led the team in scoring in the previous games. Wall for the past two years has been the most valuable player in Cleveland County. Beane comes to Gardner- Webb from Lenoir, where he was on the All-Tournament team in the Northeastern Basketball Conference last year. Constituting a strong line of substitute forwards are Sopho mores Paul Wright and Roger Gladden and Freshman David Ro gers of Walhalla, South Carolina. These men are expected to see con siderable action this season as the team takes formative strides. Each member of the team has displayed a sharp eye for the bas ket both in practice and in compe titive games. Spectators have also been made aware of the excellent rebounding ability of the players on defense. Such a combination of de fensive and offensive prowess should spell a number of victories for the Bulldogs in their 22-game schedule this year. centers Garland Hamrick and Ernie Linda Sharpe Selected As Miss Gardner-Webb "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them, all?” Ac cording to the decision of the judges in the recent Miss Gardner- Webb contest.

Gardner - Webb Faculty Men Hear Erudite Paper On The Chinese People's Commune Movement Sensing the need for intellectual stimulation not received from the preparation of lectures, quizes, make-up tests, and the like, the Gardner-Webb faculty men are meeting monthly to hear learned papers read on subjects of political significance, literary importance, and philosophical interest. The initial meeting was held on Wednesday evening, December 16, at Prof. Allen Burris’ home. Prof. F. B. Dedmond, head of the English department, read a paper on "The Chinese People’s Commune Movement.” The commune move ment in China, Prof. Dedmond insisted, is of vital political import ance since the commune is now the new politico - social - economic unit of the new China. The commune, the Chinese insist, is the organiza tion that will enable the Chinese to make the transition from social- Mao Tse-tung is committed to the commune movement as China’s best bet to make the tremendous eco nomic strides he feels China must make to become a world power, to feed her teeming millions, to har ness the tremendous manpower of China, and to control the potential Profesor Dedmond traced the de ment through the Chinese agrarian reform, to collectivization of agri culture, and on to the establishing of the first communes in April of 1957. He also discussed the Com munist ideology back of the com mune movement, the break-up of the Chinese family, the spread of the communes over almost all of China, the terrible condition of the peasants in the communes, and the hold of the Communist party and the cadres over the people. A lively discussion followed the reading of the paper. The profs showed a lot of interest in Chinese Communism in theory and in prac tice. In the months ahead, the faculty men plan to consider more erudite topics which will provide them with some intelletcual food to chew on.
